Robert Lee Stephens Jr.

“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” - II Corinthians 5:8

In life, all mortal souls will travel from our birth and into the passage of death. No matter how long we travel in life, just remember that the Lord is always and ever with us. When that time comes to bid this life farewell, we should find comfort in knowing that a loving God will be there with us to guide us to our new home. It really doesn’t matter about how long one lives; the most important factor is whether we did what we could with the life that was given to us and how we treated others.
